Tyler Herro’s hot start of the 2023-24 NBA season has come to a disappointing halt. The Miami Heat’s shooting guard is dealing with an ankle sprain that will cause him to be sidelined for at least two weeks.

Herro has been playing some of his best basketball in the first couple of weeks of the new NBA campaign. He has been the Heat’s leading scorer, averaging 22.9 points per game while shooting a career-high 41.0% for three and adding 5.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists.

Herro got hurt late in the first quarter of Wednesday’s 108-102 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The 23-year-old was driving to the basket when he stepped on Jaren Jackson Jr’s foot and rolled his ankle. He immediately went to the floor and was in obvious pain.

Speaking with the reporters after the game, Herro said that he immediately knew something was wrong.

“It was something I felt right when it happened,” Herro said via Miami Herald. “I felt it, and I kind of knew mentally. I heard some crunches and cracks in my ankle. I’m like, ‘Yeah, that will be it.’… It’s unfortunate, but I’m just going to continue to work hard. I’ve been through this injury stuff before, and I’m just going to keep working.”

The Heat issued an update on Herro’s injury, saying it is a Grade 2 ankle sprain. Herro will spend the next 10 days in a walking boot and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

The Miami Heat is understandably disappointed that they failed in their pursuit of superstar guard Damian Lillard. However, there is one member of the organization who is “glad” things turned out that way.

Miami was Lillard’s preferred destination when the seven-time All-Star asked the Portland Trail Blazers to trade him back in July. However, the Trail Blazers were not enthusiastic about the Heat’s package, which centered on shooting guard Tyler Herro, and ended up making a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks instead.

When asked about the Heat’s attempts to trade him for Lillard, Herro said that things turned out great for him.

“I didn’t want to go to Portland, so I’m glad Portland didn’t want me,” Herro said in a chat with Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “I just don’t want to be in Portland. So it’s not personal with Portland, at all.”

Herro looks like he is going to stay in Miami for the time being. However, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Heat try to package him with some picks again if another star becomes available.

Tyler Herro entered the league as the 13th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. He is averaging 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game as a pro while shooting 43.9% from behind the three-point line. Herro’s accolades in the NBA include the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award in 2022.

The Miami Heat might get shooting guard Tyler Herro back for the NBA Finals clash against the Denver Nuggets. Herro, who has been out since the start of the playoffs, is reportedly aiming to return by Game 3.

Herro fractured his hand in the first round against the Milwaukee Bucks and had to undergo surgery. It was initially believed he would be out for the remainder of the season, but the Heat’s deep playoff run opened the door for his return.

When asked about Herro on Wednesday, Miami’s head coach Erik Spoelstra said that the 23-year-old is making progress but is “not there yet.”

“We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves right now,” Spoelstra said. “He’s still just starting this process. We do have a few days here just to continue his work.”

Game 3 between the Heat and the Nuggets is scheduled for next Wednesday, giving Herro one more week to ramp up his return to action.

While the Miami Heat played well in his absence, there is no doubt that having Tyler Herro on the floor would increase their chances of beating the Nuggets. Herro, who was the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2022, started 67 games for the Heat during the regular season and averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists.

The Miami Heat pulled off a big upset to start their playoff run, getting a 130-117 win over the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night. However, the Heat’s celebration was spoiled by the fact that their guard Tyler Herro suffered a hand fracture and will be out of the remainder of the postseason.

Herro got injured in the last minute of the second quarter while trying to get a loose ball. He landed hard on the floor and was in visible pain after.

Still, the 23-year-old player remained in the game to close out the period and even attempted a three-pointer before being ruled out for the rest of the game.

Speaking with reporters after the game, Heat’s head coach Erik Spoelstra all but confirmed that Herro has a broken hand.

“He’s not going to play the next game, and then we’ll just figure it out,” said Spoelstra. “I got the same diagnosis that you all heard.”

While the Heat managed to steal one game from the Bucks, they are facing an even bigger challenge to advance now that Herro is out. The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game in the regular season. He had 12 points in 19 minutes against Milwaukee before going down with an injury.

Miami Heat secured a 104-99 win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday night, with Bam Adebayo scoring 14 points for the winning side. This game marks the All-Star center’s return to action following a thumb injury.

In his 32 minutes on the court, Adebayo shot 4 for 12 and grabbed nine rebounds, thereby reminding Miami of the value that he brings to the team.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra expressed his gratitude for Adebayo’s return, stating: “You can see his energy out there. He makes us different.”

“We’re just blessed to have a team like this. Everybody buys in. Everybody wants to compete. And everybody wants to get the job done,” Adebayo commented following the victory.

21-year-old Tyler Herro proved to be a standout performer on the night, scoring 23 points, while Jimmy Butler impressed with a well-rounded performance, bagging 19 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds.

Miami currently finds itself in good form, having won five of its last six league matches. As a result, the team now finds itself in second place on the Eastern Conference standings, trailing only the Chicago Bulls.

No team would be complete without an exuberant sixth man off the bench to provide energy when they need it most. The Sixth Man of the Year Award is given every season, and this year we have a handful of interesting candidates. Here are our rankings of who’s leading the pack so far.

5. Carmelo Anthony

He was once one of the best players in the league, and now he’s learned how to evolve into a role player. Carmelo Anthony is finding all kinds of ways to contribute off the bench, and the Portland Trailblazers thriving as a result.

4. Tyler Herro

When the season started, our last memory of Tyler Herro was his incredible performance for the Miami Heat in the 2020 playoffs. He hasn’t slowed down in the slightest, making him a huge threat to win this award.

3. Tim Hardaway Jr.

The Dallas Mavericks have immensely benefited from having Tim Hardaway Jr. on their squad. When he started coming off the bench, they started winning games rapidly. It’s almost like he was built to attack other teams’ reserve squads.

2. Montrezl Harrell

Montrezl Harrell has already won this award, but he just might do it again. He’s serving as a major piece in the Los Angeles Lakers reserve squad, and he’s putting up double-doubles like they’re nothing.

1. Jordan Clarkson

One of the main reasons for the Utah Jazz’s success has been Jordan Clarkson. He’s been averaging a career-high 18.2 points a game and is right now a lock to win this award. As long as he keeps it up, it’ll be hard for someone else to catch him.
